Rack 'em 1988 Sports
Rack 'em is a fun pool game that offers 8-ball, 9-ball, and snooker games. The game captures both look and feel of a pool parlor, and has an effective three-window interface (close-up of the ball used to adjust the english, sideways view to adjust your cue and power, and top-down view to line up your shot). More importantly, you can play many trick shots and design your own. Recommended. ...
Nigel Mansell's World Championship 1993 Sports
Nigel Mansell's World Championship is a disappointing racing game that starts out with a novel premise, then proceeds to ruin it by bad execution - same as what we have seen with countless other games. Endorsed by Nigel Mansell, one of the most famous Grand Prix drivers of all time, NMWC lets you compete in 16 different tracks spanning 16 countries. As with all other F1 games, you have the standard options including tweaking your car, choosing your driver and nationality, and dealing with different weather conditions on the course. What sets NMWC from other games, though, is the "training"...
Patrician IV: Conquest by Trade 2010 Strategy
Gaming Minds Studios resurrects Ascaron Entertainment's naval-themed empire-building strategy series with a heavy emphasis on commerce in Patrician IV: Conquest by Trade. Players begin as a simple merchant bartering with common goods, but the goal is to eventually become Elderman of the Hanseatic League by establishing a strong merchant fleet along the waterways of northern Europe. Gamers can use their commercial success to gain political power, becoming mayor of their home town, influencing local construction, and even founding new cities. A complex trade system lets players establish routes between 32 different location, each rendered in 3D, and all of the...
Nicky Boom 2 1993 Arcade action
The sequel to Nicky Boom; this time Nicky must find out who has been removing ladders and blocking off caves in his homeland. The gameplay is essentially platform, with multi-directional maze-like levels. Beating the obstructions requires occasional brainwork - hidden ladders are easy enough to uncover, and there are lots of hidden sections to look for. The levels are colourful, and the game has a cute look making it appear suited to younger players. Mirrors are placed around the levels, which transport you to a random place. ...
Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria 2001 Adventure
Adventure gamers are invited to embark on a new journey in a classic style inspired by the landmark Monkey Island series. Over four years in the making and developed primarily because of the designer's love of the 2D adventure genre, Gilbert Goodmate is the first game from Sweden's Prelusion. The player guides the likable Gilbert on a quest to clear his grandfather's good name by recovering one of their small town's most prized assets, a giant mushroom which seems to have been stolen by sneaky ne'er-do-wells of a most foul disposition. The game features hand-painted scenery and animations, an original score,...
Robot Puzzle 2002 Puzzle
Robot Puzzle is a neat little brainteaser from NZP. The plot, which seems superfluous for this kind of games, goes as follows: "The POLARIS spaceship is rapidly approaching Mars. Captain Corbett prepares the XTR-4, earth's most advanced robot, for a surveillance mission on the planet's surface. A problem arises however, when Captain Corbett fails to recall the correct assembly sequence for the XTR-4 activation disks. Unless the disks are correctly aligned within the XTR-4 unit, the robot will fail to activate, and earth's most important mission will be a failure! Can you help activate the XTR-4 robot before the POLARIS...
M*A*T*H*S Circus (a.k.a. Maths Circus) 1992 Educational
Definitely one of the best math titles ever made, M*A*T*H*S Circus is a collection of puzzle-like math-oriented activities for all ages. Although it may appear to be a program for young kids, don't let the circus themes fool you. The themes actually serve as clever hooks for problems and puzzles that cover many more subjects than math, and will appeal to math buffs of all ages. The Trapeze activity, for example, teaches you about pendulums, while Captain Blunthead in Cannon Shoot (my favorite game in this one) teaches about propulsion, angles, and more. There are twelve puzzles/activities in all, each...
Myst 3: Exile 2001 Adventure
Myst III: Exile is the first Myst game I've played all the way through. I started playing the original on a bet, but lost interest so fast that I'm still trying to remember where I put the CD. There just wasn't enough to hold my interest. Things like characters and interesting things to do were totally absent. Which is why I approached Myst III: Exile with a dose of cynicism. As it loaded up I said out loud, "This is going to be cra - Woah!" To say the graphics are striking is almost an understatement. It's actually difficult to...
Blake Stone: Planet Strike 1994 Arcade action
In this first person, action adventure kill-fest using the id Software Wolfenstein 3D engine, the designers of Blake Stone: Planet Strike! created a space adventure from the 22nd century. As hero and invincible galactic agent Blake Stone, you must defeat the army of military mutants developed by the evil Dr. Goldfire. Journey through twenty goal-specific levels, battle twenty-four genetically superior mutants, deal with four bosses, one super boss, utilize seven cutting-edge weapons, and face hazards ranging from SeekerBombs to acid slime. Blake Stone: Planet Strike! enhances the original Wolfenstein 3D engine to speed up action featuring detailed and realistic lighting...
Settlers II, The: 10th Anniversary 2006 Strategy
I first encountered The Settlers on an Amiga in the early 90's, it was pretty much love at first sight. With the decline of Commodore and its Amiga, the series moved successfully to the PC where it has enjoyed a chequered past, the second and third games in particular are very well thought of by fans to this day while only the fifth game (Heritage of Kings) isn't held in such high regard. So, with the tenth anniversary of the release of The Settlers 2 approaching, BlueByte and Funatics decided to release a remake, quite why I don't know. Perhaps...
